These five Londoners will restore your faith in music. Listening to ‘Change In Nature’ sparks that little twitch in your mind; you want to say they sound like a young Muse.

Operahouse don’t quite have the epic feel perfected, but they clash sci-fi synth with twisting vocals to produce a track which would not look lost on ‘Showbiz’. If these lads feel pressured by a Muse comparison, then an Arcade Fire one might instigate bouts of stress. But one cannot deny that the peak of ‘Change In Nature’ and the crashing crescendo of ‘Red Hats For The Masses’ reeks of the triumphant Canadians. These five Londoners will restore any faith in music that Iglu & Hartly stole.
